Question
- dialysis bag experiments
. small molecules pass (water, glucose).
. large molecules stay (starch, protein).
review questions:
. 1 can starch pass through the dialysis bag?
. 2 why can glucose move through the bag?
Brief Explanations
- Starch is a large - molecule. According to the information given, large molecules stay in the dialysis bag, so it cannot pass through.
- Glucose is a small molecule. Small molecules can pass through the semi - permeable membrane of the dialysis bag due to its small size and the nature of the membrane's pore size allowing for the passage of such molecules.
